A Dog in the Air.

Down by Pauiseu's mill yesterday a
gang of workmen had put big charge
Of blasting powder into boulder in the
earth and after lighting the slow match
retired some distance. Just then dog
that had been playing around the locality
put in an appearance uncomfortably close
to the fuse. The men whistled to him,
coaxed and at last tried to drive hir,
away, but Fido or what ever his name
was only barked al them. Suddenly
there was mass Of earth, stones aud dog
lifted high in the air. The men ran to
the spot after the debris had come down
and the smoke had cleared away, but
the dog after going up about forty feet
and turning three summersaults, landed
on bis fee. heightened nearly to death.
He gave one uuearthly howl and struck

Who Named It..

After General McCarver had negotia
ed with Job Carr, the first settler of Old
Town, for all but five acres of his claim,
without stating the object he had in view
viz the location of the terminus, and
for the time intimatng to Carr that he
was purchasing in view of locating a
mill site rather than a town site-Carr
accepting the proposition in order to i'm
prove his remaining property. After
concluding this bargin with Carr the
General located claim 10 his own name
and shortly after left Portland having
selected name for the proposed town
Commencement city. Upon his arrival
at Portland he stopped over night at the
residence Of his son in-law, &. =. Ferry
Speaking Of the proposed name of the
town, Mr.. Ferry raised the objection that
it was too long and suggested Tacoma,
and the following day at meeting held
in the first national bank Of Portland,
several names were discussed and event
ually at meeting held at the Tacoma
mill, MIR. Atkinson proposed Stwill, the
name Of the chief of the Puyalup In.
dams at that time, but Tacoma, was
finally adopted. A short time after the
General moved his family, consisting of
a wife and three children, to Tacoma,
and ;hey took possession of log cabin
which the general had erected in what
was afterwards known as Old Woman s
Gulch, opposite the coal bunkers. A
few weeks later Mr.. c. p. Ferry came to
Commencement bay to visit the general
and invest in land. There being but
two routes from Portland to Tacoma
one by trail and the other by water-Mr.
Ferry came by water via Victoria, as be-
ing the more direct and comfortable.
Fare to Victoria, S36; from Victoria to
Vashon island, 50; thence to Tacoma,
about three miles out Of the regular
route to Olympia, 50. Total fare from
Portland to Tacoma, S54. Upon arrival
off Tacoma, the shores being heavily
timbered to the waters edge, some diff
Guilty was experienced in finding the city
which consisted of two cabins, Carr's and
General McCarvcr, but Mr.. Carr set FIRE
to stump and fired his rifle, whereupot
the steamer stopped and sent boat
ashore with Mr.. Ferry and wife, who
were warmly welcomed by the waiting
populace.-T. Ledger.

Head Foremost rs. Feet Foremost.

There has been some discussion as
to whether enc lying in sleeping-car
should place his feet toward the loco
motive or the reverse. One man writ
ing to q medical i0urnaD who Travelled
about As, 900 miles 4 year with his back
to the locomotive became extremely
i'll with q nervous affection, and got
well after he had given up the habit.
His doctor believes that persons who
travel much by rail should take all
sorts of positions. A German physi-
clan. DR.. Outten, says that if u person
lies with his feet toward the engine the
movement Of the car tends to draw the
blood from the brain to the feet, cerc-
bral an8nia IS produced and then
sleep. But If he lies with his head
nearer the locomotive Gas is the Gus
tom in Germany, there is produced a
cerebral hyper@mia, incompatible with
sweet repcse. DR.. Mcbride, Of the
Milwaukee Insane Asylum, advises ex-
aCtly the reverse. Ho holds that with
the feet toward the engine the blood
tends to the head. II the starting Of 6
train momentum is first given to the
car. Bodies in the car resist for Ii mo-
ment, and then acquire the same mo-
mentum. But on the least increase of
speed they offer rcs;stance-they are
not disposed to go as fast as the car
A round marble placed on board viii

suppose that in a human body the
blood constantly offers resistance to
the motion Of the train. Therefore.
with the feet to the engine, the blood
will seek the brain. For this reason
DR.. Mcbride urges sleeping with the
head toward the engine.

helm aided by the natural talent Of
each member they presented to their
audience an entertainment equal to
any Of the best negro minstrel shows
Their selections were well chosen,
and fully studied and charmingly
rendered. The two end men, Messrs

bic in taeir PRESERVATION Of the negro

darby smile and stare Of Mes5rs.

Messrs. McClarJy AMI Greenebaum,

down the house with upronous
laughter and tickled admiration.
The lecture was replete with goods
things and len the audience in tnat
charming state If doubt, of whore he
began and where he ended. The Joke
were not loud but funny. The stump
speech lasted as long as the umbrella
and the grand overture spread over
the audience, a veil wrinkled with
mirth aud split with laughter:
The song and dance act was grace
lily done. The singing bY the
Quartette showed fine musical talen
and was well received by the audience
Altogether this was one of the
best treats ever offered to the Bolivar
public, and those uniortunat es who
iailvd 10 attend, missed a good
thing, a laugh, ami a cigar. We
hope that these young gentlem en-
will keep MP their company aud give
us another entertainment in the
near future. We will promise them
a crowded house, and the audience
are guaranteed Al good show.
